Ode To The 90s

It was a time that I will never forget, a time of grunge, flannel, and war; A War on authority, a war on what we knew; Electric colors and synthesizers are gone; I remember the death of hair metal, and the birth of a much grittier truth; Fangs were so easy to hide in ‘85, yet it’s 1993 that left it’s mark on me; Less acceptable distractions from ‘real’ made concealment a much tighter trick; Oh 90’s energy and its desire to explode, to create revolution kick down every door; Although viewed by some as a renaissance, this decade to me felt more like a demise; A demise of decadence, a demise of phony; It’s been a century now, things do change; I’ve survived death many ways, many times; Living through the 90’s I will never forget.
